Less than a week after the Jets playoffs hopes came to a crashing halt in Tennessee, they come home for the last home game of the season to take on a underachieving San Diego Chargers team. Mark Sanchez was yet again ineffective against the Titans throwing 4 interceptions prompting Rex Ryan to name Greg McElroy the starter for this Sunday’s game. This move just about seals Sanchez and Tim Tebow’s fate as starting QBs in New York. The Jets can’t afford to worry about that now. The Chargers, although riddled with the injury bug, do have multiple weapons and just two weeks ago beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Jets will have their hands full with the Chargers potentially explosive offense and 13th ranked defense.

OFFENSE

The offense is led by former #4 overall draft pick Philip Rivers. Rivers has had at best an average year for him. He has struggled down the stretch of games, throwing interceptions at key times in the game, as well as getting strip-sacked 15 times. His offensive line has been injured and it has showed. Rivers has been sacked 43 times, on average it’s once out of every 8 plays.
